The theme from Benny Hill might be more appropriate.

Trouble with the bells are ringing is the lyrics are so lame.

Likewise any suggestions for songs where you try to shoe horn in Villa specific lyrics generally sounds crap.

It doesnt have to be an obvious anthemic song - Celtic fans singing that Depeche Mode song sounds really good. Like Sheff Utds version of Annies Song. The best songs emerge from the fans not from the club.

Depends if you just want an anthem or something the fans can sing. War Pigs would be a great anthem but not particularly terrace friendly.

If I can throw one in the mix - Knights in White Satin.

Trouble is with this thread that people have got confused between the song they want to sing and the one they want the team to come out to. Personally, when it comes to the music as the team emerge from the tunnel, I think it's been shite for years. At one stage we were coming out to the fucking Black Eyed Peas. To me, that just suggests 'Hi, we're Aston Villa, we're all bouncy and friendly and we'd like you to have three points.'

I wouldn't suggest this as coming out music but we used to play Oasis's 'Shock of the Lightning' just before the match and that's a decent track to get people going. What about 'Fucking In The Bushes' by the same band? It's an instrumental, plus it has a connotation for some as being the music used in the climactic scenes of 'Snatch'. But in an ideal world, it would be the fans that sang the teams onto the pitch. Can't ever see it happening though.

No just the defence after the ball.

The bells are ringing for the claret and blue,
The fans are singing for the claret and blue,
Everybody is knowing,
To the Villa we are going,
Cause the Villa are showing,
We're the best in the land.
BEST IN THE LAND!!
